Students will learn to work independently and to collaborate with other group membersas they conduct research in specific topics in energy research. This will enable them to understandtheir own levels of aptitude and interest in a career in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to prepare for the next stage in their education andcareer development. Students will report and present their research results in multiple settings. Inaddition to the hands-on collaborative research experience, technical and social activities will beincorporated into the program to provide students

-departmental teaming exercise at Cal Poly was conducted between students in CE 587and students in MATE 232. Students in CE 587 study the engineering properties of soils,geosynthetics, and solid wastes; the interaction between geomaterials and contaminants andwastes; beneficial reuse of wastes and byproducts; and waste containment facility design. CE587 is a graduate level course that is available to undergraduate students as a technical elective.During the term that this exercise was conducted, 12 students (7 graduate and 5 undergraduate)were enrolled in CE 587. Students in MATE 232 study material properties and the impacts ofmaterials and technology on society through the context of historical (e.g., Stone Age, BronzeAge, and Iron Age) and current

Benefits accrue both to students who pursue a researchcareer and to those who enter applied fields by strengthening their ability to propose innovativesolutions. Over the past nine years, we have sought to improve student research in apredominantly teaching institution. The two primary challenges were: (1) academic - how tointroduce and promote inquiry-based learning given the constraints, and (2) business - how toobtain and sustain funding for student-based research. Further complicating the effort was a lackof experience on the part of most students in identifying an appropriate research

The MATLAB® modeling and simulation components of the engineering statics ELMreduces the time that students usually dedicate to computation. When students solve problemsthat have several equations and unknowns, they often commit manual errors.
